Handing in your files
Handin rules
- Hand in source code
.cpp files for your
programs. Do not hand in compiled program files because we
cannot grade them (0 points).
- Double check your handin. The system has been known to
fail, and it is your responsibility to make sure the files are
there (and not empty).
- Name your source code
.cpp files using the exact
name from the assignment. Linux is case sensitive - use only
lowercase letters.
- Use only letters, underscores, and periods in your
filenames. Do not use any symbols, numbers, or spaces in
filenames. The handin system cannot handle filenames with
symbols or spaces in them.
- Hand in individual
.cpp files only. Do not
zip up files or try to hand in directories.
The CADE Lab handin command
This command requires that your files exist in your CADE lab
account. (If you work at home, you'll need to copy your files to
a directory in your CADE lab account, log in, and hand in using this
command.)
- Log in to your account and open a console (or terminal)
window. You can do this physically in the lab, or you can do it
remotely with a simple ssh program like 'putty'.
- Use one of these commands to list the files and directories in your account:
ls or ls -la
- Change to the directory that contains your
.cpp
files. Use the cd command to change to a
directory. For example: cd myfolder will
change down into the directory named 'myfolder', and cd
.. will move up one directory level. Typing
cd by itself will move you to the root of your
directories and files (called your home directory.)
- To list the available handin directories, type this command:
handin cs1410
- Hand in your files. The general form of the handin command is
handin cs1410 assignmentNN yourfiles.cpp
You can list multiple files at the end of the command.
Example: handin cs1410 assignment01 surface_area.cpp
-
You can check to make sure we have your files by running the handin command again. Specify an assignment number, but omit any filenames:
handin cs1410 assignment01
It should report back to you the date, time, and size of the files that have been submitted. Make sure the sizes of the files are not 0.
- You may resubmit files. Newer files will overwrite older files (if they have the same name).
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to visit a TA
during his or her office hours and they will be more than happy to
show you how to use this command for handing in files.
